I've always loved telling stories, but never enjoyed writing. When I found photography, it was the perfect medium for me to express myself. With each shoot, I unveil the unique stories of my subjects, and tell them with beautiful imagery. People often tell me that they feel like they know my clients just from reading my blog.

They say photographs are the only tangible memories, which means that my perspective is how you will remember some of the most important moments in your life. With that in mind, I have to capture the details (big and small) in the most beautiful light. I want you to laugh and cry when you look at your photos. Whether it's your wedding day or your babies growing up, time goes by so fast, so it's my job to document your story... beautifully.

In order to give each client my full creative energy, I only take a limited number of weddings a year. (aka I book up fast and don't offer discounts.)

the modern family | baby theo

Baby Theo is the coolest kid on the block. He lives in a downtown loft, has great style, and best of all, has the most amazing mom & dad in the world. I want to be just like his mom! She has such a great sense of style. She styles for a living and is amazing at it. Dad is an amazing chef. For any Top Chef fans out there, you may recognize him from season 2.

I love Theo’s room! I love the Oeuf Sparrow crib, the mix of their initials on the wall, & the huge chalkboard above his crib!

It’s so beautiful to see how head-over-heels they are over little Theo. I totally know how they feel.

I also LOVE that big light up letter T in his room… which is actually just a corner of their loft. And I love the clothes rack made of pipes!

I love the minimalism in their bedroom. I love all white bedrooms.

They have the best of both worlds – cool downtown loft and a “backyard”… with a great view too.

Theo is a month older than Cameron, so it was really fascinating to see what I had to look forward to.

Theo, your family is so beautiful, inside & out. You are one lucky fellow! I look forward to seeing you grow. Thank you for sharing part of your world with me!

and for those who like the technical stuff, this was shot with a mix of film (both 35mm & medium format) & digital, probably 60/40 respectively.

I adore EVERYTHING about this session! The photos are light as air and the colors are so dreamy. The family is gorgeous. And the stylish loft with those amazing downtown views? Can I just move in with them now??

I want to move in with them too!! They are really such a beautiful family.

OMG Caroline!! I’m so jealous of you! I LOVE Top Chef and I LOVE Ilan. Please do NOT tell me he cooked for you because then I’d be even more insanely jealous than I already am. What a cool and stylish family! And gorgeous photos, as usual. You’re always so creative and have such an amazing eye for beautiful details. Great session. (ps – if you happened to get a great paella recipe from Ilan… I want it. Spill please!)
